I can’t believe I didn’t have a post scheduled ahead for today! That shows how crazy life has been. Lots of secret sewing going on, which means progress has been made on my leader/ender project.
My total number of blocks?
My goal is 80. I’d like this project wrapped up before I go back north. Have a great day!
I came across this very old piece in my stash and I love how it looks with the cheddar and scrappy squares.
But how can I spice this up a bit? Could it become a medallion? Or be put on point? I need to figure this out. This is one idea I worked on. It has some potential.
Ready to get sewing? This is what you will be working on this week.
After pairing up my strips, I began sewing them together. Below you can see groups of four strips sewn together, two matching WOF prints and two background strips alternating.
These are then subcut into 2 1/2” strips, as shown below.
I took eight of each unit and sewed them end to end, always pressing toward the dark. Then I sewed the two long strips together to form the checkerboard strips. All your seams should nest. Below you can see six sets finished.
The photo above shows 6 columns. So the assignment for this week, is to get this much done. Then you will be almost halfway!
BTW, here are great deal that end tonight at AccuQuilt .
I found this little machine on Facebook Marketplace last weekend. That’s about the only thing I use Facebook for. I got a cover for it, but no attachments. I did find a manual online. It sews a lovely stitch!
Daughter #2 gave me this. Isn’t it fun?
Found this fun fabric at Goodwill. Of course, it had to come home.
I can finally share some secret sewing that I completed back in January for Fat Quarter Shop . I used this layer cake to make the Layer Cake Loop quilt, from their Short Cut Quilt series.
The free pattern will soon be available from Fat Quarter Shop . This fabric is there now.
This was fast and fun!
I found these fabrics to be so interesting and pretty!
